I’m an old cabinet maker. This is a great video for people to see. One observation for the middle and best doors. Use a little foam rectangle piece called a panel buddy or foam space balls the Rockler sells. It helps well with expansion and contraction and it takes that hollow sound out when you close the door because panel fits evenly a snug but allows for expansion and contraction. Used them for years and still do. They are crazy cheap for a large amt

I used the router method when I redid my kitchen doors. Those router bits are BEASTS! I did stained glass inserts rather than wood, but you still have to allow for the cabinets to contract and expand so you have to get a little creative to keep the glass from shifting over time. That was 10 years ago and they are still good as new

I love that your beginner is actually beginner friendly. I.e. people who don’t have or is comfortable with using a table saw yet.

Great video! Thank you for being prepared, not stammering and stuttering, and wasting time! Fast and to the point is what I needed. I actually used this info to do an even more advanced door design, with a 1/4" birch ply insert panel, and it turned out great. Will be watching more vids, for more tips. Thanks.

Best video for people who actually want to make their own doors with different skill levels and tools. I’ve seen many of these type videos and this is to the point and well done. Thank you

Because the center panel on the 'pro' can expand and contract you should provide some relief by taking a 1/32 from all sides with the tables saw. In the video the panel is not glued but it is edge bound. This means when the panel expands it is pressing against the stiles. If the expansion is significant, it is possible to split the joinery (the corners) or the panel itself.

Another variation in between the beginner and intermediate would be to create a rabbit or grove for the plywood back to sit in rather than just on top. Of course this takes additional time.

[davidhenner]

My 2 cents... beginner should drill the holes for the hinges 1st. Just in case you mess up you don't throw all the other work away.

[howiestern]

I like to use 1/2 plywood for my panel, shaker style in the front nice and flat/flush in the back. Same with my drawer faces.

In the comments, “Pros don’t use Ryobi.” It’s kind of obvious but tools do not a Craftsman make. It takes skill to be a craftsman. Craftsmen used to use non powered hand tools. Some of us still do for some things.

[rustylester]

Thanks for the beginners door example. This method is what I have been looking for. Simple and looks great.

#mrfixit Grandmother here. I love your presentations and energy. Now, here's a tiny bit of Grandmother advice: Have your Adult ENT check you out- especially your vocal cords; then have your Upper GI Doctor check your stomach via an Endoscopy. Why? You're straining your voice to speak normally. Reflux can affect our vocal cords... (A huge issue for teachers plus vocal cord calluses. I taught for approx 45 years). Please be well!

Excellent video! Love the comparison and tiering of options

[akorada]

I loved how you explained the whole process....crisp and clear, without wasting time. I have subscribed to your channel

Nice Video. Really curious about the paint process. Brushed? Sprayed? What type/brands. Would appreciate the info. Thanks

[jpjp]

Never made a cabinet but all of this looks easy. Heck, I could probably just go and do the pro version easily.

[kevintennant]

Not sure your supposed to glue the ply panel in either coz your stiles and rails shrink and expand too. We used to paint timber panels before we put them in as well coz when they shrink you see the timber

[sipntools]

Thank you so much! I'm loving the beginner, intermediate and pro series on each build. Grateful!

[ZiziBizi]

This is wonderful. I'm currently in the process of building a new kitchen and I want cabinet doors just like that. I will put visible hinges on the door. The only problem for me is the type of paint. I don't know what kind of paint to achieve such an effect. Please help.

You know, I appreciate your ever-developing skills. But the fact that you just flat out ignore your followers is such a slap in the face to the people who make your “job” possible. Without followers and subscribers, you are just another working man like the rest of us. Take a moment each day to thank and appreciate all of those that make it possible for you to have this social media life you have. We watch your content, buy your merchandise…at least be thankful. Have a good one.
